I found this tutorial,

is there anything like it for m8?

thanks,

You can probably put a audio reactive Quartz Composer comp in modul8. You might need Soudflower or Wiretap (preferred) if you want to use sound from the same computer. I think I've done that before but you will not get any access in Modul8 to the parameters of the QC file. Theoretically you could have the QC comp read settings from an XML file and have a Modul8 module changing the values in the same xml-file.

Then you have the other route and that is to send an audio reactive QC comp from QC to Modul8 over Syphon. You will need to have QCRehab installed to make it work. If you set up Midi controls in QC they will be available when you're in Modul8.

Thank you;
all i need to do now is learn how to implement your advice; i think second option sounds 'easiest'.
my goal is; i made a load of audio re-active stuff in flash, for use in nuvj, that i need to 'rebuild' to work in m8.

It's pretty simple. Install the latest Syphon plugins for QC. They just released Beta 2. Put everything you have made in a "Render as Image" patch. Don't forget to publish whatever input you need for your sound at the root level. Then lead the image input from that patch to the image input on the "Syphon server" patch and it give a name to your Syphon Server. Now you your Syphon input should be available to Modul8.

I made a tutorial for how to enable Syphon input in Modul8:

Hello, every control in modul8 can be made to react to sound:

Here is what you need to do.

Download Filters 1.6 modul and it can use sound as means of animation of every parameter

Lotech have done some moduls that react to sound as well. The interface for the sound reaction is not that hard to write the script for, just look at how Filter 1.6 implements sound control...
